Abstract
Background: Adipose tissue's phenotypic alteration due to exercise training is a new theory. However, the cellular–molecular mechanisms for these phenotypic alterations are not yet clearly
understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of six weeks resistance training on Meteorin-like hormone level and insulin resistance index in overweight adolescent boys.
Materials and Methods: Twenty overweight adolescent boys (average age 18.5±1 years old, average weight 81.1±4.5 kg, and BMI 27.7±0.7 kg/m2) participated in this study. The subjects were randomly assigned into two groups: control (N=10) and resistance training (N=10). Subjects in training group performed six-week resistance training program 3 days/week. Anthropometrics parameters and fasting serum of Meteorin-like hormone levels, insulin and glucose were measured at the baseline and at the end of study.
Results: The level of Meteorin-like hormone was significantly decreased in control group (p=0.008), but that of Meteorin-like hormone in resistance training was increased insignificantly (p=0.311). The variations of Meteorin-like hormone levels between two groups were significant (p=0.004). The changes of insulin resistance were increased in both groups which were statistically significant (p=0.032) and insignificant (p=0.632) for control and training groups respectively. We found a negative and insignificant correlation between changes in Meteorin-like hormone levels and changes in insulin resistance index (p=0.273).
Conclusion: The results showed that six weeks’ resistance training has no effect on increasing Meteorin-like hormone serum level and improving insulin resistance index and body composition in overweight adolescent boys.

Abstract

Introduction: Since a more appropriate psychological treatment has not yet been found in the treatment of autism to be a definite solution in autism, in this research, two more common psychological methods have been compared. Objectives The aims of this study were to compare the effectiveness of ABA and Fluortime play therapy on sensory processing in children with autism spectrum disorder in Qom in 1401.
Methods: The method of this quasi-experimental study was pre-test-post-test and follow-up with a control group. The statistical population of the research included all the children with autism in land Qom at Golhay Behesht Autism Center. The statistical sample of this research was 45 people who were selected by available sampling, and randomly divided into three experimental groups using the ABA method (15 people Fluortime method (15 people) and the control group (15 people) were placed. The first experimental group was treated with the method of ABA in the designated sessions. 23 20-minute sessions were presented to the subject group. During experimental group Fluortime was treated with the method of 23 sessions of 20 minutes, it was presented to the subject group, then it was analyzed using analysis of variance with repeated measurements. Ethical Considerations: This article is approved by the ethics committee of Islamic Azad University Ahvaz branch IR.IAU.AHVAZ.REC.1401.032.
Results: The results of the analysis showed that the Flortime play therapy training in sensory processing was significantly at the level of the effect of the implementation of independent variables on the registration components down (P = 0.02) Sensory seeking (P = 0.001) Sensory sensitivity (P = 0.019) Sensory avoidance (P = 0.004) is significant. On the other hand, the average difference of sensory processing components in the applied behavior analysis and game group is significant. Fluortime treatment is significant with the control group. So that the mean of the components of sensory processing in both experimental groups has a significant0.05 ≥ P decrease compared to the control group.
Conclusions: This finding, in line with the change trend of the mean of the components of sensory processing, shows that functional ABA and Fluortime play therapy during the implementation period. And three months after the completion of the implementation period, it has led to a significant decrease in the average scores of sensory processing components. Sensory processing in children with autism spectrum disorder. It should be mentioned that in comparison, the scores of sensory seeking, sensory sensitivity and sensory avoidance in the Fluortime were higher than in the ABA method, and low registration was higher in the ABA method, but the results of the Ben Feroni test show that although each method was significant separately in sensory processing, the difference in effect Functional behavior analysis and Fluortime play therapy on sensory processing components of p>0/05 is not significant.
